insurance company financial ratios

What reasons are used in the analysis of an insurance company?
I know that the analysis of insurance companies is different other types of enterprises. What reasons do you use when looking at their financial statements?
The analysis of insurers is very different to look at other types business. The main issues are the nature of business and the terminology used, which can be confusing. The best books I've seen on the subject are www.finysis.net. In addition, selling a very affordable Excel based spreadsheet to make calculations easy. Take a look.
